In Thailand, the National Anti-Corruption Commission (the "NACC") has funded and organized, The Museum of Thai Corruption (the "Museum"), which is a roaming museum to raise the awareness of fraud and corruption in Thailand.

The ten alleged corruption cases are represented through modern sculptures with easy-to-understand descriptions. The museum is located at the NACC offices at 361 Nonthaburi Rd, Mueang District, Nonthaburi 11000.

The rice subsidy scheme in further detail....

The rice subsidy scheme was supposed to help Thai rice farmers to earn more revenue and was launched by former Prime Minister Ms Yingluck Shinawatra in 2011. The purpose of this scheme was to buy rice from Thai farmers at a price around 50 percent above the prevailing world market price and stockpile the rice in order to force up the global price. The government was unable to sell the rice at the promised high price which left thousands of farmers unpaid.

What is worse is that this policy not only supported Thai farmers, but also farmers from neighboring countries including Vietnam and Cambodia, as there were rumours that they were illegally selling their rice to the Thai government as well. This resulted from a lack of controls and measures to check the provenance of rice being acquired under the scheme. Furthermore, this scheme also encouraged farmers to only focus on the quantity of rice rather than the quality, as the purpose of selling rice to government was just to make more money! In summary, the government purchased low quality product at a high price and lost credibility as a result of this scheme.

According to the investigation conducted by NACC, the impact of the rice subsidy scheme to the government was over USD 16 billion. In addition, it was estimated that 16 million tons of rice stock perished and almost 3 million tons went missing from the warehouse. The rice subsidy scheme is considered one of the worst policy stories that Thailand has ever experienced.
